Who am I??

I am a lady and a “Mom” like the zillions of people all around . So why do i want to write? I wanted to pen my thoughts about kids, about me and about life in general.. Also as a memoir to “gift” my kids when they “grow”, when they are mature to handle “LIFE”.
I have written bits and pieces here and there about my life as a mom. But been deliberating for a while to have it all consolidated . Memories written are memories made.
Today was the perfect “imperfect” day to start this . Officially called “Mother’s Day”. It is supposedly to be a day when the mothers can officially take a break. Break from? Break from cooking, break from having to check if kids have had meals, break from having to think if the dishes are done etc. But is a break really possible? Is it possible to just switch off for a single day and switch on the next morning..
As for me , I am just not been able to switch off. I cannot switch off from the fact that Aisha , my 6 year old has not yet brushed her teeth or my hubby has still not figured out whats for breakfast :). How do I switch off that my daughter is going back to school tomorrow after 51 days to be precise and my son later in the week after 54 days. hahaha. How do I forget that my daughter’s Friday home school work needs to be completed by EOD and the meal prep to be done… the list is never ending…

Sports in a child's life

What is it about Sports and a child? Its almost synonymous.  My 11 year old has become super lazy , lazy to even go for a bike ride since the last holidays . Soccer season finally started today. The practice sessions for the time being with a 10 person limit on gathering. Neel has been so excited , so geared up , he almost sprinted to the practice session.  He came fully excited. Tired he was but the excitement didnt wear out. And yes he arrived home with a soccer ball given as part of the practice.  He spoke about how other kids came in , how he saw familiar friends, how he had a good run, how he was so happy. Daughter is on the other hand, not very sporty. I am trying to make a conscious effort to make sports non gender specific. Ages ago daughter was all excited to start skating . She saw a child trip and then didnt want to go back. She is 6.5 years old now. Probably will wait till shes 7 and get her enrolled in soccer. She needs to run too and fall yes and g...

New home!!

Today is not an ordinary day, nor an easily forgotten day. Today is the day , last year, when we arrived in Sydney. We a family of 4 arrived with memories from India and with hearts filled with hope and dreams. Gradually we blended into the life here, did a lot of learning, quite a bit of unlearning . It started off with a 3 week stay at an Airbnb accomodation. For someone who had a full time cook and help, here was a time when the mommy had to dish out food every 3 hours. It was just about wrapping up of breakfast and pausing for a while , when kids would pop up the question "Whats for lunch"? . In the interim 2-3 hours, hubby and I would wonder - "Should we do the dishes or wash the clothes or sweep or relax or just start cooking again"??...  it was also the time when every meal was cherished, there was no customization.  If daughter could not eat spice, all of us would just eat the non spicy food, no questions asked or answered. It would be a struggle to get e...

Learning to accept "non acceptance"..

Aisha just as the meaning of her name is "Full of Life". There is never a dull moment when she is around. She always has something to tell us, something to be excited about . It was a relaxed Sunday today. Today was my friend's 40th birthday and considering the current circumstances, we were to make a visit to her place for wishes. Aisha who is anyways excited about birthdays was also excited that we would do a repeat of yesterday's vanilla cupcakes. All day she kept reminding me of the birthday. She helped me with the cupcakes and did most of the piping, made a birthday note (which she did not show me), got her birthday girl hairband ready.  When it was time to go, she was probably the most excited . Once we reached there , she excitedly hands over the birthday note( i was touched by the note which also mentioned that my friend should have a bootiful lyfe ahead) to my friend and goes to the 1st floor with her brother to meet my friends ' kids. After a while...
